Behaviour of Heat Treated Aluminium Alloy under Hardness Test

Abstract:

Currently, Aluminium (Al) 6061 material is used in various industrial application and Automobile sector. Al 6061 gives good formability and excellent mechanical properties. This paper is mainly focused on the behaviour of the heat-treated aluminium alloy-6061 under the various test such as hardness test, impact test and other industrial applications. Based on the outcomes of Heat treatment, the quality of the Aluminium alloy-6061 is also compared with that of Aluminium alloy-5083, 6063. Hence, this paper helps in future research, which is based on the behaviour of the Heat-treated aluminium alloy under Hardness test.
